Absolutely stunning. I can no longer accept your average store bought boot. Think about the times of the past when this was the only way you did things. No mass production, just unique quality products.

what a mix! this is really old school, banging out a shank from a nail, lol! next, he uses a skive machine instead of doing it by hand. then proceeds to an electric sander... some parts are handmade to the point of ridiculous, others are highly automated. and the bottom has no allowance for the shank so the soles are bulging. you can't walk on that....

How many pairs of boots have you made, because he’s been doing this since before for almost 50 years. And 1000’s of years worth of sandals and boots, says you’re wrong about how he does his nail shank!
